3. Setup

3.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the trimmer for optimal battery performance. The lithium-ion battery provides up to 2 hours of cordless runtime when fully charged. Connect the charging adapter to the trimmer and a suitable power outlet.

3.2 Blade Adjustment (Zero-Gap)

The GOLDFX FX787G trimmer comes with a zero-gap adjustment tool. For the closest cut and crispest lines, you may choose to adjust the blades to a zero-gap setting. Refer to the included zero-gap tool instructions for precise adjustment. Exercise caution during this process to avoid setting the blades too close, which could cause skin irritation.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

To turn the trimmer on, slide the power switch located on the front of the unit upwards. To turn it off, slide the switch downwards.

4.2 Trimming Techniques

The exposed T-blade design allows for excellent visibility, making it ideal for:

• Outlining: Create sharp, clean lines around the hairline, beard, and neck.
• Detailing: Perfect for intricate designs and fine-tuning.
• Edging: Achieve precise edges for a polished look.

Hold the trimmer at a slight angle against the skin and use gentle, controlled strokes. Let the high-torque motor and sharp blades do the work, avoiding excessive pressure.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Blades

After each use, ensure the trimmer is turned off and unplugged. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any loose hairs from the blades. For a more thorough cleaning, you may carefully wipe the blades with a damp cloth and then dry them completely.

5.2 Oiling the Blades

Regular oiling of the blades is crucial for maintaining optimal cutting performance and extending the life of your trimmer. Apply a few drops of clipper oil (included) to the blades after every few uses or as needed. Turn the trimmer on for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly.

6. Troubleshooting

• Trimmer Not Turning On: Ensure the unit is fully charged. Check that the power switch is firmly in the 'ON' position. If using corded, verify the power adapter is securely connected to both the trimmer and the power outlet.
• Poor Cutting Performance: Clean the blades thoroughly to remove any hair buildup. Apply clipper oil to the blades. Check if the blades are properly aligned and not damaged. If blades are dull, consider replacement.
• Trimmer Overheating: Prolonged use can cause the motor to heat up. Turn off the trimmer and allow it to cool down before resuming use. Ensure blades are clean and oiled to reduce friction.
